		When the Los Angeles Lakers went into Miami a couple of nights ago, they were gunning for their 12th consecutive victory, which would have moved them within three wins of tying the NBA record for most victories in a row to start a season.
		It is newsworthy any time an NBA team puts together a streak that reaches double digits, and these Lakers certainly seem capable of fashioning additional double-digit winning streaks, particularly when O'Neal returns to the lineup.
		To put this Beamonesque achievement in its proper perspective, consider that the next-longest winning streak in NBA history is just 20 games, by the 1948-49 Washington Capitols (March 13-December 4).
